The proposed framework achieved accurate and fast deformable alignment of pairs of 2D dental radiographic images. The edge-based module of the loss function enhances the unsupervised learning by directing the network toward deformations that take into consideration the edges of the depicted objects (teeth, bone, and tissue), which are crucial in diagnosis.
